Viennese waltz

Viennese waltz is a category of ballroom dance, consisting of several versions of the waltz, including the earliest waltzes done in ballroom dancing. As the waltz evolved, some of the versions that were done at about the original fast tempo of ballroom waltzes came to be called "Viennese waltz" to distinguish them from the slower waltzes.
